TPM:
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) just appeared on the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC, and he was asked about Michele Bachmann's allegation that the "Flying Imams" -- the six Muslim men who were removed from a plane at the Minneapolis airport in late November 2006 -- were suspicious characters who had in fact been in town for Ellison's victory party.
(The relevance here is that Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress. And the men were in town for a conference held a week and a half after Ellison's election. And they were released after it was found they posed no threat.)
Check out Ellison's response to the leader of Planet Wingnuttia. Hilarious.

As the RNC is attacking President Obama they show be looking next Dem President who just might be Mr. Ellison. Republicans don't have a leader or anyone with a brain to speak for them now. Yes 8 years with OB will be short when you think about it. Instead of planning ahead the RNC is chasing their tails. I've been watching Ellison and he's learning and growing into a large role for our country. Now just remember it was me who told you first.
